LoRa Energy Meter using Arduino | Energy meter Lorawan | LoRa Power Meter, electricity meter

this video is brought to you by ultim designer are you tired of the traditional energy meters that only give you basic readings well I got something that's going to revolutionize the way you monitor your power consumption with my design Laura energy meter you will have access to real-time data accurate measurements and the ability to track your energy usage like never before imagine having the power to monitor your electricity consumption from anywhere anytime all through a simple and user-friendly interface things to lower Wayne a low power wide area network protocol and the flexibility of Arduino I have combined The Best of Both Worlds to create this game changing device this Lora based electricity meter shows of some impressive features it wirelessly transmits data using the Lora technology ensuring long range connectivity within a range of up to 5 kilometers while maintaining minimal power consumption this means you can easily Monitor and analyze your energy usage without any a complicated firing or limitations but that's not all this lower energy meter goes above and beyond to provide you with Comprehensive information about your power consumption it allows you to monitor key parameters such as voltage current power and units consumed by monitoring voltage current power and units consumed you can make informed decisions about your energy usage but there is another incredible feature that sets this meter apart when the power is cut off or the voltage Falls below 150 volt AC the onboard buzzer is activated this feature serves as a variable safety measure enabling you to promptly respond to power disruptions by hearing the buzzer you can take immediate action such as turning off sensitive loads or investigating the cause of the power outage it's an aided layer of protection and convenience for your electrical system the voltage and current values are quite accurate because I have calibrated the zmpt101b voltage sensor and the CD clamp current sensor I'll explained it in my previous video Arduino home energy monitor I'm sure by now you might have got an idea of how does this system work so without any further delay let's get started tomorrow [Music] this is the CD claim current sensor and this is the zmpt101b ac voltage sensor if you want to know about their technical specifications and how to use these sensors individually then you can watch my getting started videos I have added links in the description this is the transmitter side and this is the receiver side as usual I'm using my design Arduino Lora development boards on both the sides but you can also do the same exact connections on a breadboard and let me also tell you for now forget about this relays because and this project no relays are used it doesn't matter if you are a beginner is I'm going to explain every single connection so let's go ahead and first start with the transmitter side connect the VCC and ground pins of the zmpt ac voltage sensor to the Arduino 5-fold and ground in my case I have connected the VCC wire to the Arduino VN pin which is connected to the regulated five volt and 3 amps power supply connect the output pin of the zmpt voltage sensor to the Arduino analog pin a0 connect the VCC and ground wires of the AC current sensor to the Arduino 5 volt and ground but in my case I have connected it to the external Firefall N3 amps power supply connect the output signal via a to the Arduino analog pin A1 this is the Lora R8 0 to 433 megahertz transceiver module and its NSS sck MOSI and Mis opens are connected to Arduino pins 10 13 11 and 12. the reset pin of the Lora module is connected to the Arduino pin 9 and its 3.3 volt and ground pins are connected to the Arduino 3.3 volt and ground pins and don't forget to add these 22 micro farad and 0.1 micro for decoupling capacitors this is a 5 volt and 3 amps power supply based on the mp1584en I have already explained this in my previous video in that video I have also explained how to get different voltages without put anyway you can follow this circuit diagram you can download it from a website electronicclinic.com now let's go ahead and take a look at the receiver site the Lora and power supply connections remain exactly the same connect the VCC and ground pins of the SSD 13060 LED display module to the Arduino 3.3 volt and ground pins connect the scl and SDA pins to the Arduino analog pins A5 and A4 respectively A5 is the scl and A4 is the SDA a 5 volt buzzer is connected to the Arduino pin d8 and I'm using 2n2222 npn transistor for controlling this buzzer connect the positive pin of the buzzer to the 5 volt which is VN and connect the ground pin of the buzzer to The Collector of 2n222 npn transistor connect emitter to the ground and connect the base to the digital pin T8 through this 10 kilo Ohm resistor you can follow this circuit diagram now let's go ahead and take a look at the programming all team designer is the world's most crosstalk PCB design system LTM

comments and if there are any issues they can fix them from anywhere in the world ultimate designer also uses the world's fastest component search engine octopart so you won't have any difficulty in searching for components links to the ultim designer Altium 365 and octopod are given in the description this is the transmitter site programming and this is the receiver side programming first let's go ahead and start with the transmitter site programming first of all you will need to install the required libraries for this simply copy the name then go to the sketch menu include Library and then click on the manage libraries paste the library name in the search box and install it as you can see I have already installed this Library you can follow the same exact steps for the other Library [Music] as you can see I have also installed this Library ninety percent of this code is from my Arduino home energy monitor project this time around I edit code for the Laura you can see I have added the local address and the destination address you can add multiple addresses if you want to monitor multiple energy meters using a lower away and the upcoming version I will also add a gateway anyway what I'm doing is I edit all the parameters in a message and then I send it to the remote site Lora Mario you can clearly see I have separated these values using comma SD delimiter this will help me in splitting the entire message on the receiver side and then I can store these values in their corresponding variables for the further processing and everything else remain exactly the same now let's go ahead and take a look at the receiver site programming you will also need to install these libraries for the SSD 1306 or LED display module exactly the same way as I explained [Music] buzzer is connected to the digital pin 8 I also Define these four variables of the type float for storing the voltage current power and units the local address is set to 0xff and the destination address is set to 0 xpb if it doesn't make any sense to you then you need to watch my video on multiple Lora transmitters with single Lora receiver anyway let's go to the loop function we simply read the packet and then split the entire string and store the retrieved values in the variables and then we convert these into float types and store them in variables ac voltage AC current AC power and units I've also added a condition if in case the ac voltage Falls below 150 volts ac the buzzer will turn on it will also turn on if there is a power failure all these instructions are used to print these values on the OLED display module the git value function is a user defined function and its job is to split a string message using any character as the delimiter so that's all about the programming and now let's go ahead and start the Practical demonstration I have powered up the transmitter and receiver side and you can clearly see there is no physical connection between the transmitter and receiver side I have powered up the receiver side using my created 4 is lithium-ion battery and now it's completely portable I can move around with this circuit and monitor the energy meter within 5 kilometers I have tested the range of these Lora modules using different types of antennas I have added a link in the description anyway you can clearly see the voltage current power and units on the display these are the measured values and let me show you the actual voltage and current values using a multimeter and mpm meter you can see the measured and actual values are pretty close anyway the buzzer is off because the voltage is above 150 volt AC I'm going to cut off the power and let's see if the buzzer is going to turn on this is pretty awesome now my design lower energy meter is going to alert me if the voltage Falls below 150 volt AC or if there is any power failure so that's all about the Lora energy meter support me on patreon for more videos I hope you liked today's episode like and
